I have had the opportunity to watch an ROH PPV DVD and IMHO they are a LONG way
from competing with WWE or even TNA. The show I saw had Samoa Joe, MCMG's and a
few other guys who later worked in TNA and it still wasn't enjoyable to watch at
all. There didn't seem to be any announcers and the promos were uber-lame. The
wrestling was OK but really poorly shot. TNA can at least edit the action if
the live producer misses it. I would probably watch it if it were on free TV
near my area but a PPV? No way. Maybe a live show...

Samoa Joe and the Machine Guns have never been on ROH PPV.
Infact, the Machine Guns have only teamed together at an ROH event which was
after Joe had left the company.
Care to share what this magic DVD was?

MCMG confused with gen next maybe?

He seems to have misunderstood that not all ROH events are PPVs. He likely is
referencing an old DVD, probably from '05 or so.

How come whenever someone new watches ROH, their first comment is "They are
a long way from competing with WWE." It's like, yeah, WE KNOW! No one is
saying they are. No one who has been watching them since the beginning are
saying that they are. I think people confuse the ROH fanbase as preferring ROH
over feds like WWE and TNA as them thinking that they are watching
"competition." It's not about competition right now, it's all about
being entertained by some great wrestling, and that's what ROH provides.

Yeah, plus I don't seem to recall any RoH shows that had no announcing at all.
Someone needs to get their facts straight before blindy bashing.
Posted By: Robin (Guest) on March 26, 2008 at 11:29 AM
maybe it was prazak and company's lack of any kind of enthusiasm or tone change
that made him think there was no announcing.....
do it live, or don't do it at all. i hate when they call crap that you
wouldn't be able to tell right at the moment they call it. they must watch the
matches over and over before they actually record commentary, because they
usually sound mighty bored....

Anyway you look at it, its WRESTLING. Its a hell of a lot better than TNA and
WWE combined. ROH has better athletes and better wrestling product. Plain and
simple. They don't need to have a set like TNA or WWE just a few cameras and
light around the ring. thats it, just like the good old days. Not sports
entertainment.
